I Opened This Pack And A Super Bowl Broke Out

Standing in line at my local Dollar Tree, after having grabbed a large padded envelope and a box of peel-n-stick envelopes, I noticed a box of football cards next to the counter. I don't usually pick up random packs of football cards, but this pack called to me.

You guys know these packs.

A buck each, usually no more than 5 cards, and ZERO chance of pulling a hit.

But hey, they're only a buck!

Here they are in order.

Drew Brees #54

Former Super Bowl Champion and MVP.

And all-around good guy.

Cool.

Lamar Miller #12

Now we're getting relevant: a playoff guy from this season, that's kinda neat.

But here is where this pack starts to get spooky:

Matt Ryan #61

Just lost the Super Bowl, he's pointing towards the EXIT sign.

Duke Johnson #19

Meh.

But now I freak out:

Tom Brady #42

Whaaaaaaaat?

What are the odds of opening a pack of cards less than two weeks after the Super Bowl and finding both starting quarterbacks inside?

Amazing.

And as a bonus, The Super Bowl MVP is also featured on the Panini Gridiron App card.

I often pick up those packs from Dollar Tree. On one trip out of 5 packs, or maybe one of my overboard trips of grabbing a huge hand full of a dozen packs I had two packs that had the exact same 5 cards.

On a recent trip I also picked up some of those 20 card repacks of baseball cards, and one of those packs had a duplicate in a bag so that I had 19 unique cards out of the 20 in the bag.
